Fact-Checkers Freak Out, Call 'Emergency' Meetings After Zuckerberg Pulls the Money
A prominent group of fact-checkers called an emergency meeting after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Tuesday that the social media platforms controlled by the company would move toward prioritizing free speech.
Members of the International Fact-Checking Network, a group of more than 170 organizations across the planet, previously had a major role in fact-checking content on Meta platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.
The emergency meeting came in direct response to the new announcement, IFCN Director Angie Holan said in an interview with Business Insider.
“We hold these meetings monthly, but we called this one specifically because of today’s news,” she confirmed.
Holan revealed that the IFCN member organizations are annoyed at the change announced by Zuckerberg.
